What does IPS mean on threads?

National Pipe Tapered (NPT) and Iron Pipe Straight (IPS) are two commonly used thread standards in plumbing. Their nominal sizes can be confusing because the name refers to the internal diameter of the pipe (the bore) rather than the external diameter (often the only part accessible to measure).

Can you use NPT with IPS?





IPS (also known as NPSH) is the left circled column, NPT is the right. You can see that the actual outside diameters are very close, and threads-per-inch (TPI) are the same. Does this similarity mean you can get a liquid-tight seal screwing IPS and NPT fittings together? No, absolutely not.

What IPS means?

In-Plane Switching panel





(In-Plane Switching panel) An active matrix LCD screen technology developed by Hitachi in the mid-1990s that provides more uniform color reproduction and greater viewing angles than traditional twisted nematic (TN) LCDs. Maturing for more than a decade, IPS was deployed in iPads and various Android tablets.

What is the difference between IPS and NPS pipe?

The name NPS is based on the earlier “Iron Pipe Size” (IPS) system. That IPS system was established to designate the pipe size. The size represented the approximate inside diameter of the pipe in inches. An IPS 6″ pipe is one whose inside diameter is approximately 6 inches.

Is IPS same as FIP?

IPS in Other Forms



When looking for threaded plumbing fittings, you often see the terms MIPS and FIPS. These are based on IPS and simply note that the fitting is a male fitting (MIPS) or a female fitting (FIPS).

What kind of pipe is IPS?

Iron pipe size



Iron Pipe Size (IPS or I.P.S.) pipe sizing system based on the inside diameter (ID) of pipe. It was widely used from the early 19th century to the mid 20th century and is still in use by some industries, including major PVC pipe manufacturers, as well as for some legacy drawings and equipment.

Are faucet threads NPT?

Often, the “T” in NPT or FPT/MPT is used to represent “Tapered” instead of “Thread”. Plumbing fitting are commonly referred to as “NPT”, however, in reality, nearly all faucets are actually “NPS”. NPS is the North American “STANDARD” for faucets, regardless of brand, style, application, etc.
